Legion baseball: Waynesboro edges Chambersburg, 6-5

Chambersburg and Waynesboro were tied 3-3 going to the bottom of the fourth inning Saturday, but Post 15 scored three runs in that frame and held off Post 46 for a 6-5 Franklin County American Legion baseball victory.

The first two batters for Waynesboro in that decisive inning drew walks, and the runs came in on an RBI single by Derek Buhrman, a sacrifice fly by Jeb Newman and a run-scoring single by Nick Irizarry.

In the third inning, Francisco Maya provided a two-run base hit for Post 15. Zac Kober earned the win, while Paul Steiger hurled a scoreless seventh for a save.

St. Thomas 6, Fayetteville 4: After tying the game in the top of the seventh inning, St. Thomas battled through extra innings and a lightning delay to claim a 6-4 Franklin County American Legion win over Fayetteville in a three-hour marathon game.

Jake Shatzer hit in the game-tying RBI for Post 612 just before a lightning delay put the game on hold in the bottom of the seventh. Three walks and a single by Brandon Fitzgerald brought the game-winning run home for St. Thomas (1-1), and Jared Pine batted in an insurance run in the bottom of the ninth to lock in the win. Remi Spoonhour claimed the win for Post 612 in three scoreless innings of work.

"When the lightning and rain came, we were just praying we could get back out on the field because we felt we had regained the momentum in the game," assistant St. Thomas coach Jamie Funk said. "Our defense was stellar and we were able to use our speed to put pressure on Fayettville and get runners in scoring position all night."
